Commercial Fire Risk Assessment – All Business Sectors
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and Building Safety Act 2022, every employer, business owner, and commercial landlord with 5 or more employees must carry out and maintain a written Commercial Fire Risk Assessment. Our qualified assessors conduct comprehensive assessments across offices, shops, restaurants, warehouses, light industrial units, schools, clinics, and hospitality venues.
Comprehensive Commercial Assessment Methodology:
- 1. Identification of Fire Hazards: Sources of ignition (electrical switchgear, machinery, heating, cooking) and combustible fuel loads.
- 2. Identification of People at Risk: Employees, visitors, contractors, and vulnerable persons requiring Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs).
- 3. Evaluation of Fire Safety Measures:
- Fire detection and alarm systems (BS 5839-1 Category L1-L5 / M).
- Emergency lighting coverage and exit route illumination (BS 5266-1).
- Firefighting equipment adequacy (CO2, Foam, Water, Wet Chemical extinguishers).
- Fire compartmentation, fire doors, and automatic shutter mechanisms.
- 4. Emergency Planning & Staff Training: Review of fire drill records, fire warden training, and assembly point procedures.
- 5. Action Plan with Risk Prioritisation: Practical, cost-effective recommendations categorized into High, Medium, and Low priorities.
